Better battery, increased internal storage and Bluetooth audio support seem like viable improvements they could implement.

2nd half of next year sounds right on time imo. That's a good 2 years and a half until a revision, which I think is later than most revisions of other Ninty consoles. Though I do wonder what will even change

Rumor seems to be a thinner screen that improves battery life. I doubt it'll be anything major.

I had mine since a month after launch, and I think by next year and some, it's definitely due for a new version.

Also I don't really see much point in extra battery life. The worst case I've seen was during Anime Expo where this guy's battery ran out while waiting in line lmfao

I think people expecting a Switch Pro will be disappointed. This will probably be their lite/slim version. Even there I can't really see a huge change since it will still need to have the Joycons click into it.

It will time with the next Pokmon game too. So I could see it being like a clamshell version or something.

Nah cuz that means when everyone else is developing for the new gen Nintendo will still be stuck with (worse than) last gen tech.

nintendo has been on "last gen tech" ever since the wii and they're never going to come out with a console comparable to sony/microsoft's in terms of power because they have their own corner of the market and have no need to seek parity with the other two

When it comes to mobile hardware the Switch is about as good as it can get in its price range too.

It does make me wonder if we'll just see an outright Switch 2 around 2021/2022 considering how fast mobile hardware develops nowadays. They've got the handheld market to themselves essentially so they can do whatever they want.

Very true. But, to me, releasing an updated version implies they have no plans to do anything new, anytime soon.

Their push for ports of multiplat AAA titles says otherwise.

Well yeah. They're at the very least locked into the Switch ecosystem for 4-5 years.

I don't think they've been that specific. There's only so much mobile hardware can do. Even if they released a new model with new specs every single year they wouldn't get all of the AAA ports. They're designed for home hardware. At most they can hope for games that can scale down or games developed with Switch specs in mind.

The only differences are going to be to fix the hardware exploit and fix the chassis cracking problem.

This isn't a hardware revision and you shouldn't expect it to be.

If you actually follow the Tech / Computer Industry, there's a new Improvement in Screen Power tech from Intel that dramatically cuts power consumption from a LCD panel. (2-3w -> 1w) power consumption for a 1080p / 1440p panel.

That is a dramatic power savings, and considering the Panel is the largest power draw of most devices, it'll be worth it for Nintendo to pay whatever patent royalties it is to get access to that tech.

Hell most Manufacturers should want to pay the royalties for what it delivers.

I've learned from my previous Nintendo buying habits to just wait for V2 of the same portable hardware.

Nintendo always has a significantly improved V2, sometimes a V3.

Hope its false. Also this is a pretty inopportune time to let this news out. Right before the holiday season, right before Smash. No price cut for the holiday AND the hardware will be revised in a few months? Meh. As a Switch owner I hope it's not any significant changes.

Don't get your ups for 4K anytime soon.

4K panels would rain battery literally 4x faster.

The Switch already has a poor battery life, do you want it to be 4x worse?

Yeah after we saw the bait and switch that was pulled with both the PS4 Pro and the XB1X I've decided I'm not buying new consoles anymore. Looks like I made the right call waiting for the Switch.

I've been waiting for it. I can see myself buying a Switch a year from now. I'd only buy first party Nintendo games on it though. It's so weird how they want to charge so much, as much as $40 a game, for their ports of PS4 games that have already been free for years.
